Weight loss & Health.
The Taylormade approach. The Clear-Out This is the single most liberating action you will take in the next few months. It is another one of those important psychological moments in your mission to turn your health around, a process to allow you to kick things off in the right frame of mind. Head into your kitchen and chuck out everything that contains any ingredients on the red list. Don’t lie to yourself. There will be foods, drinks and condiments you absolutely love that you think won’t make a difference. The passion-fruit cordial, the ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce, the emergency ice cream in the freezer… It must all go in one great symbolic cleansing. Set a time on a date that you and someone else can both be available. Commit to completing the job in one day. Then, take the lists, your friend and a refus bag and go through your food cupboards, throwing away everything The clear-out is best done on the weekend (at the end of your Observation phase) so you don’t have to rush it. If possible get your partner or a (Banting) friend to help you with the process. A witness adds accountability. Take a photograph of all the unhealthy carbs and processed foods you’re piling up before throwing them away – a snapshot that you will return to in the future with amazement. Read some of the labels of the junk you’re binning. Work out how many teaspoons of sugar they contain (1 teaspoon = 4g). Many breakfast cereals are one quarter added sugar. Some condiments are a half added sugar. Think about how they’ve contributed to your physique and your health. This is an act of motivation and practicality. Just doing it will serve as a mental marker, a turning point for you. It also removes any temptation from your house, which will assist in times of weakness in the weeks and months to come. Put your pictures up on social media. You'll want to share how much sugar, processed carb and oil you found in your cupboard. Some of your friends may be just as intrigued to find what is lurking in their kitchens.
